Our Owls

Meet the owls children can get up close to

Six remarkable birds, each with a name, a species and a personality all their own. (A group of owls really is called a parliament.)

Dottie

Barn Owl

The classic heart-shaped face and softest of feathers — calm, beautiful and always a favourite.

Mango

White-Faced Scops Owl

A striking white, dark-bordered face and bright orange eyes — quietly captivating.

Monty

Bengal Eagle Owl

A handsome eagle owl with fiery orange eyes and impressive ear tufts; a real showstopper.

Murphy

African Spotted Eagle Owl

Golden eyes and wonderfully intricate markings — endlessly admired by every class.

Willow

Barn Owl

Another beautiful Barn Owl, pale and graceful, with silent, drifting flight.

The UK is home to six species of owl

Barn, Tawny, Little, Short-eared, Long-eared and Snowy. On a visit, children meet our owls up close, learn each species and discover what makes it special — from silent flight to eyes so big they can’t move in their sockets.
